Fido have added two mid-range phones in their lineup. If you’re looking for a well-featured handset that will not break the bank, the Nokia 6555 clamshell and Samsung SGH-E747 slider are good bets at $75 each with a three-year contract with Fido.
We have a rather mixed set of user reviews at our reader reviews section on the the 6555. You might want to check them out before you decide. And here is our model page for the 6555. You’ll find a user’s manual (hope it’s up) and the complete specifications of the model. In short, the 6555 is a quadband GSM phone with EDGE connectivity and a 1.3 megapixel camera. The external screen displays an old-fashioned clock, a nice legant touch for this clamshell.
The SGH-E747 has 2 megapixels instead of a 1.3 MP for its camera. Both phones’ camera support video capture and both work anywhere in the globe.

The Samsung Adidas F110 Fitness cell phone is said to be launching next month in the UK. The Samsung Adidas F110 has been rumored about for a long time now, so it’s about time we have a confirmation.
A few specs from the Samsung Adidas F110 handset: heartbeat monitor and step counter, it also boasts a built-in MP3 player / FM tuner, two-inch LCD and a two-megapixel camera. And lastly, it boasts a 1GB memory card for your music, etc. Not too shabby! Hopefully these handsets will be coming to North America - and if it’s a success in the UK, I’m sure they will be.
CeBIT - Samsung introduced a Soul phone for clamshell lovers, the G400, which is an HSDPA-connected handset with a 2.22-inch external touchscreen for that classy technological touch we call state-of-the-art. Like its slider brother, the G400 is high-end on just about every feature. The 5 megapixel camera besides the image stabilizer and Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), has automatic face detection for great portrait shots even when you have not brought your camera.
This phone is heading for Europe in June. No word on the price but as a high-end multimedia phone, don’t expect this one to be cheap.
